Memory Lapses

I watched a news brief today with my friends from the Early Show regarding science finding the secret of aging. This suprises me because I’ve never thought of it as a secret. It just creeps up on you, just happening. There’s really no secret there. When I think about getting older, three really good aspects [...]

Making the Rounds

[ad] Prior to leaving we did get to spend an evening with my sister Lisa and husband Keving and half her children.  Ah, the bond between family grows stronger with the years despite any geographical distances.  And then it was off to visit Robin’s brother and family.  We treated ourselves to Scotty’s track meet.  I’m [...]

You Can't Go Home Again

They say you can’t go home again.  In our case that really applies as we have rented our stix and brix unit out to Dan and Tanya, a lovely young couple from Houston, Texas.  But they’re in good hands as our next door neighbors, Neil and Donna will initiate them to the wild ways of [...]

Another couple that we are very close to, Tom and Cheryl, joined [...]

Little Missouri Floods

The Barnyard-Campground Review

Mundane Interstates

We’ve been on the road the past four days and without internet service much of the time, henceforth the abscence. I must get a Verizon Internet card for times like this.  We departed Columbia, SC on a morning when frost danced upon the windows making the view appear as a Halloween postcard.  From there we [...]

On The Road Again

[ad] We’re on the road again.  The rains coming our way to the shores of Alabama left no reason to remain there. So north we head toward the Capital of the Confederacy, seeking out a big rig site large enough to accompany us.  Supposedly one exists just northeast of Montgomery that should be reached no [...]

Preparing to Leave

Today was a day full of work. I do that when the time draws nigh to leave where I have been. And in a day or so it will be soon time to depart. To leave the azure waters of the Gulf, the neighbors we have befriended here at Gulf Shores, and the Moon Pies [...]
